Descripción
Sumario:This book explores the representation and performance of aging in recent ""late-style"" German-language fiction, situating the authors chosen as case studies -- Günter Grass, Ruth Klüger, Christa Wolf, and Martin Walser -- in their biographical and social contexts and exploring the significance of their aesthetic figuring of aging for debates raging both in Germany and internationally. In particular, the book looks at gender, generations, and trauma and their impact on how writers ""narrativize"" aging, along with the ""timeliness"" of these different performances.
